Summary

What is the best way to move our planet to a safe and sustainable future? This book focuses on two global issues - rapid population growth and a human-induced climate change caused by emissions - that lie at the heart of this problem. John Firor and Judith Jacobsen summarize the current status of these two issues, show how they are related to one another, and prescribe steps that governments, economies, societies, and individuals can adopt to ensure their stability.
